I think they sacked the wrong person. That is unless there was something more behind it.

I do not condone rape in any way and obviously I was not party to this particular conversation, but I have to say that I have often seen young women dressed in a way that is bound to attract, sometimes unwanted, attention. Whilst it should be possible for anyone to dress however they like at any time even a lamb would have more sense than to enter a lion's den late at night.
